SINGAPORE, Nov 4 (Reuters) - A Qantas Airways <QAN.AX> A380 landed safely in Singapore on Thursday after running into engine trouble, one of the most serious incidents for the world's largest passenger plane in its three years of commercial flight.
The Airbus <EAD.PA> A380, which had originated in London and was carrying 459 people, suffered trouble with one of its four engines shortly after it had left the island state en route for Sydney. Australian officials said no one on board was injured.
Qantas, which operates six A380s, said it was grounding the aircraft pending a full investigation.
"We will suspend all A380 takeoffs until we are fully confident we have sufficient information about (flight) QF32," Qantas Chief Executive Alan Joyce told reporters in Sydney.
There have been no fatal incidents involving A380s since they were launched in 2005 amid great fanfare as the greenest, quietest -- as well as the biggest -- jetliner.
Earlier this year, one of the planes operated by Qantas burst two tyres when landing in Sydney, and in September 2009 an A380 was forced to turn around in mid-flight and return to Paris.
"This is probably the most serious incident involving the A380 since it began flying in commercial service," said aviation expert Tom Ballantyne, chief correspondent of Orient Aviation magazine. "There have been minor engine incidents before but nothing like this."
Qantas A380s use Rolls-Royce <RR.L> engines. This particular plane had Trent 900 engines and was built in 2008.
